My Experience With Vitiligo And It’s Homeopathy Treatment.

Share & Like

It has been an amazing journey from being a seeker of medical knowledge to being an expert on certain chronic and recurring diseases. Sharing my thoughts on vitiligo may help those who are interested in knowing vitiligo especially the patients.

I always considered vitiligo as a dreadful as well as harmless disease. Dreadful in a sense that it affects the suffering person emotionally as well as socially, on the other hand, harmless in the sense that it does not pose any serious health issues.

What causes vitiligo?

Hundreds of people have asked me this question and every time while replying, to give a satisfactory answer was a challenge.

People come with so many anxieties like will it increase? Is it spreading? Will it lead to some other disease?. It gives immense pleasure to solve all these anxieties. Patients are free to make a free of cost inquiry at our website www.mysimilia.com

Sadly, we cannot pinpoint a single cause which leads to vitiligo. There are a number of theories put forwarded by different experts which holds water.

The most common theory which comes close is considering vitiligo as an autoimmune disease. Some consider it a cellular disease. In a few cases, some doctors correlate it with the use of chemicals. Further, researchers have considered genes to be a major cause.

Many scientific studies were done in order to check which one is correct. To sum up, it was found that most of the theories were correct. To simplify things vitiligo is a multifactorial disease. Hense, more than one cause is present.

A combination of various factors such as autoimmunity (where body’s defense mechanism mistakenly attacks its own cells.), genetic factors (positive family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune diseases), etc., causes Vitiligo

What brings about this autoimmunity? Researchers all over the world have different opinions. There are varieties of factors which may be responsible, like emotional stress, genetic factors, injuries, use of immunosuppressive medicines, hormonal changes, etc.

Vitiligo diagnosis and spread

An expert Skin doctor is easily able to diagnose Vitiligo. However, sometimes he may use a Woods lamp to confirm the diagnosis.

There is no scientific tool or test available to measure or predict the spread of vitiligo. It is difficult to say how much color a person may lose but in the majority of cases, it is very slow in spreading except in a few cases.

In my opinion, raising awareness about vitiligo is very important among the sufferers as well as family members.

My experience in treatment with homeopathy

I always say the earlier the better. Many times patients come after taking a lot of “strong” medicines. No doubt, such medicines do produce an initial improvement. However, vitiligo invariably increases after stopping medicines.
